Jenni, on trying to avoid drama: “I wish I could be like Mary J. Blige, ‘no more drama.’ I’m done with it but drama’s not done with me. I’m used to it.”

Chiquis, on getting along with her mom: “There is nothing we can’t talk about. My mom is very open, so if I’m walking out the door, she’s like, ‘Okay, go have fun, but don’t come back pregnant. Use a condom!’”
